Family interactions can be a wellspring of humor and personal growth, and Peter's stories about filming with his family are nothing short of heartwarming. We navigate the nuances of different cultural upbringings, share laughs over parental quirks, and discuss how childhood fears evolve into mutual respect and playful banter. From talking back to parents to navigating the pressures of academia, our anecdotes highlight the importance of understanding and adapting to varying family dynamics. Peter's tales of a mother going shot-for-shot with her son to curb his drinking habits will leave you laughing and pondering the unique approaches our families take in shaping us.
